This is the recipe that my grandma passed down to her kids and I'm one of them!!! I baked them for the first time today with my girlfriend and they came out wonderful. These cookies are a family tradition, and being passed by generation to generation! Thanks Mim!

Ok, but I rolled mine very thin and they still rised too much for me. If you like crisp cookies these are NOT for you. If you like thicker cookies, then maybe you'll like these.

I halved the recipe since I didn't want as many cookies, and I needed to keep on adding flour to the mixture to make it manageable, but it worked out great! It made for some nice crunchy cookies! yummie!

Not a very sweet or flaky cookie.... But perfect for icing. The dough was easy to handle and was very sturdy for cutting shapes.

wasn't as sweet as i had expected; if you didn't make sure the dough was completely flattened b/4 cutting out, it seemed to rise a little higher than i had wanted. if you like soft cookies, this recipe will work for you

My family loved this recipe and I really liked that I didn't have to chill the dough. I used butter and they rolled out and baked up really well (I baked them for 10 minutes) and were perfect for decorating, soft but durable. This recipe is definitely going in my permanent recipe file.

I got many rave reviews on these! (A couple people declared them they're new favorite!) They rolled out and baked great. We made half the batch with sprinkles of sorts and the other half with powdered sugar/vanilla/butter frosting...those with the frosting went faster and tasted better..the ones with the sprinkles seemed a little dull. Great recipe Bev! I'll be sure to use it again!

This was a great recipe in my opinion! Dough was eash to roll, cut and they cooked GREAT! Although I only cooked them for 10 mins...they are even good eating them plain with no frosting or decorations. The kids and I have a great time frosting them as well as eating them...santa will be very please on Christmas Eve night!

Wow. I am so impressed with these cookies. They tasted great and I LOVED that I didn't have to chill the dough. I will definitely make again. These are the sugar cookies I ate in my childhood.

I was very dissapointed because I was going to add this WONDERFUL COOKIE RECIPE to the site to finally share with everyone else. This recipe has also been in my family for years...I have very fond memories and specific memories of when we frosted the cookies that I'd licked my fingers so much that I felt sick. I ABSOLUTELY LOVE THESE COOKIES and they do taste much better with icing/frosting. Definately addictive!!! I've tried a few other cut out cookies from this site and I'd have to say NO OTHER COMPARES!!! AWESOME!!

Recipie was easy to follow and cookies were easy to roll without being chilled. I used 3 teaspoons of vanilla, no almond extract. Baked at 350 for 9 minutes. Cookies came out looking perfect, still lacked a lot of flavor, needed to be iced, but because we rolled them semi-thick they did look perfect as cut-outs. With icing these are very good. I would suggest using 4 tablespoons of vanilla or at least 3 with maybe a little zest or orange or lemon.

These cookies are awesome. No on in my family can bake so two years ago I took it upon myself to do Christmas cookies for everyone and these are it. I use butter instead of shortening and they are the classic, can't get enough of them, buttery Christmas cookies. I also use the "Decorator Frosting" recipe submitted by P. Oakes which is just wonderful, too.

Dry and tasteless. I thought adding a creamcheese icing would make them easier to swallow. The icing was the only thing that had taste...which only made the cookie part even more tasteless. I won't make these again.

!!!!The best sugar cookie recipe I have ever found!!!! Just the right sweetness, just the right tenderness. Easy to roll out once I added a bit of flour before rolling. Thanks so much Dora, I've been looking for the perfect christmas cookie for years and you've found it for me!!!

I don't know if I did something wrong, but we did not like these at all. The icing that I used also had almond extract in it, and thats the only flavor that was in the cookies.
